Special Guests: Peter Gach, piano;

Music from two of Poland’s most notable composers. On the first half are
Penderecki’s heartfelt Chaconne—In Memoriam John Paul II, a U.S. premiere,
and Szymanowski’s unique symphony for piano and orchestra, dedicated to
Artur Rubinstein. Chorus and soloists join the orchestra for Szymanowski’s Stabat
Mater, which grew out of the composer’s study of sixteenth-century Polish
liturgical music and which he intended as a “Polish Requiem.” The result is
subtle, haunting, and very beautiful.

Through the centuries, music has sought to depict the inherent drama in
the liturgy and rituals connected to Christ’s Passion. Soloists of the Bach
Collegium San Diego offer a program evoking the suffering, lamenting,
emptiness and darkness as conveyed by such works as François Couperin’s
Leçons de Ténèbres and Biber’s Rosary Sonatas.
